T happened one afternoon in the early part of the year, that the Class of iO2, llaltimore Polyteelmic Institute, passed upon a very momentous question. There were many grave faces to be seen, and, as the class filed from the meeting-room and wended its way along the corri- dors, not a word was spoken. Days passed. The serious demeanor of the Class made itself apparent to everyone. The Faculty became suspiciousg the Postgraduates wonderedg the lower elassmen stood aghast and marveledg aye, the whole school mar- veled. Oh, what hours of thinking and planning! Again the elass met in secret session. Business was being put through with unusual care and precision, when suddenly the intense interest was broken in upon by a cheer from the court below. Then there followed a ringing exclamation-''Eureka! We know it! NVe know it! Un the room death-like silence reigned supreme.j The A class is editing a year book l A year book l A year book ! The very air seemed to be filled with yells and cheers. Instantly the meeting adjourned and the class sought refuge behind the locked doors of the library until the first effect of this startling revelation had passed away. viii Several days after the cherished plan of the class had thus been so enthu- siastically made public by the lower class, the editors assumed the insignia of their office. The selection of a name for the book required much thought and discus- sion. Many names were suggested, and from the many was chosen the title which the book bears-SA1.M,xGUNn1. SALMAGUNDI brings before its readers the different phases of school life one meets in the Polytechnic. Not only does the publication lead the interested one through the adventurous period of a school term, but, after gathering here and there the many little incidents that may have occurred in classroom or corridor, it mixes the ingredients obtained in so bewitching a way that the meaning of the title-a mixture of many ingredients-is clearly exemplified. Yet, what's in a name? There were hard places, of courseg but whenever the editors found the work very burdensome, the class would good-naturedly put its shoulder to the wheel, and S.xI.M.xGUNDI would bowl along rejoicing. And so things have progressed until, after much scribbling and scrawl- ing and wasting of ink, theeditors are pleased to announce that the work is completed. Notwithstanding the pleasure it affords the editors to have completed their task, it is with no little hesitancy that they place before you the result of their laborsg and, inelegant and unpolished as the work is, still the editors indulge the hope that, between the rough and crude lines, there will be found something that may interest every reader. How delightful it is to have things all one's own way! Let not the instructor, therefore, be shocked if, while carelessly turning these pages, he should be confronted by a rather exaggerated likeness of himself. The members of the class beg to remind him that it is now their turn. Let him also remember that there will ever exist that regard for him' and respect for his work, which is sometimes the only, and always the most lasting, of every right-minded student's memory of his Alma Mater. And then, all ye students! Accept your digs as becomes men, and ever be loved by the class of 'O2. In behalf of the class, the editors wish to express their thanks to Messrs. Walter M. Gieske, Benjamin F. Foster and Milton Kraemer, who have so kindly assisted in enhancing the appearence of the volume by their artistic contributions. Special acknowledgment is due Mr. Samuel M. North, Head of the Department of English, for assistance in reading the proof. THE EDITORS. ix f C, Q f lm 5 EJ . -5 , 1 I N V H Q! P,x1:1z lntroclnctory Stanza ..... ....

There is, however, the sweet consolation that too much will not be expected, and if, in years to come, those who are now pupils find any pleasure in reading what is here offered, the editors will feel amply repaid for the time and trouble expended in its preparation. Discernible here and there is a vein of gentle satire which the authors proudly proclaim to be the results of the greatest efforts of their lives, and the well-meant sallies will, it is believed, do much mutually to preserve the recollections of teacher and pupil concerning the events of this period in the existence of the Polytechnic Institute. The secondary school period is critical in the life of a boy, for the propo- sition of a higher educationifaces him, and it is not too much to say that the seriousness of the question is fully appreciated and causes him a greater mental disturbance than that with which he is usually credited. Then, too, it is the impressionable period when the effects of apparently triiiing incidents in the course of his instruction take deep-rooted loclgment in the mind, to reappear opportunely to supply missing links in the solution of serious prob- lems. . l Little wonder, then, that the desire is strong in the boy to chronicle school experiences of this important epoch, for in no better way can he contribute to their preservation, and it is with this suggestion of intent that these unpolished pages are submitted. A VV. R. K. 4 L'Esprit du Corps .af HE student of the language of a people is able, long after it may I . C have ceased to be a spoken tongue, to form a nearly correct idea C FEW of the character of the individuals, of their methods of thought, of their conceptions of the ethics which should govern their actions, and even of their practical application of those conceptions to the varied affairs of every- day life. From this it will readily be seen that the sources from which a language springs, the environment of its users, and their consequent modes of thought, will result in the production of words and phrases, which in another language, evolved from different conditions, will have no full equivalent, and be inca- pable of being comprehended until the hearer can put his mind into the same condition as that of the speaker. The French and Early English fAnglo-Saxonj sprang from such totally different beginnings, their development was along such widely different lines, the character of the individuals, and, per consequence, the character of the people, so entirely diverse, that it is not strange that today we find it difficult to substitute an exactly synonymous expression in English for the caption of this article. The origin of knighthood in France preceded by so long the rise of the same system in England that its principles had become thoroughly grounded in the minds of the people, and had become a dominating influence in the thought and action of the French, and when transplanted to the uncongenial soil of England it had much difficulty in gaining an entrance into the sturdy, straightforward, plain-thinking and plainer-speaking mind of the almost brutal Anglo-Saxon. WVhen, therefore, the errant knights, who held their individual honor above even their lives, came to be gathered into the compacted masses of the royal armies, and each, in a measure, to lose his identity in an aggregation, of necessity the same opinions permeated the combination Cale corps--the body j and becoming l'esprit-the soul, controlled their actions. From these considerations we have an insight into the tremendous moral force of the expression which is almost meaningless when converted into 5 its literal English equivalent. VVithout a knowledge of what it meant, and still means to the Frenchman, it could not possibly appeal to any part' of the Englishman's mental equipment, and so far from influencing his actions, would only excite his derision. But when, from a more intimate acquaintance with the people, when from witnessing the potential influence a mere sentiment had upon the actions of those who acknowledged the controlling power of its true meaning, the Englishman recognized its value as a principle to be cultivated and encour- aged, at the same time he realized that, from the lack of its conception by his Anglo-Saxon ancestors, he had no words which would represent the idea, and he has been compelled to adopt the phrase into his language, and to attempt to teach its meaning by inculcating the ideas which lead to its forma- tion. Passing from the rude school of military life to the gentler walks of peace, we find that this sentiment, or something near akin to it, exists in many other situations. Wherever it is allowed to control the actions of those, subject to it, there exists a restful sense of security among those dominated by its influence. When each member of the body feels that its honor is in his keeping, that a bar sinister upon the escutcheon of one is a taint upon all, and that a cloud over the body envelopes each member, when each feels that his individual honor and interests are in the keeping of all 5 that cliques, cabals, conspiracies and combinations for personal advantage against his single interests are impossible, because dishonorable: then is each member of the body free to give his best efforts to the work in which all share honor or reproach alike, then the true esprit animates the entire corps and the member reaches the fullest fruition of his hopes. That each class in our Institute may cultivate l'esprit du corps is the sincere wish of J. W.

So, if this record of the deeds of '02 comes not up to the standard of what a history should be, direct not your criticism at the writer, but rather at the members of the class for having made so injudicious a choice. But inasmuch as it is my allotted part to chronicle the deeds of lO2 since the day of its birth, I will endeavor to deserve the honor that has been thrust upon me. Before attempting the history proper, I will say that the class of 1902 has had an unusually quiet and peaceful career. There have been no antagonisms within the class, but a hearty co-operation between its members has always been evident whenever any project was on hand, and there has always existed a friendliness and good-will pleasant to note. A On a certain September morning in the year one thousand eight hundred and ninety-nine, fifty youths from all parts of the city and a few from the country gathered to form what will go down in the annals of the Baltimore Polytechnic Institute as the Class of 1902. Raw youths they were who gathered in and about this university of learning, to be instructed in the ways of the wise. In spite of their verdancy, it is said the instructors saw great promise in some of the boys. The members of the Faculty now proceeded with their laborious task of taking the rough edges off. The success with which they met was varied, according as the material was found to be easily worked, or to resist all of their efforts. Imparting an education is like working some metals-the outer surface is the hardest to penetrate. 1 .The examinations-destroyers of fond hopes and good averages-duly came along and thinned our. ranks, leaving some to march forward and causing others to fall by the wayside. The following September saw but twenty-four of our number in their accustomed places ready to delve more deeply in the fields of knowledge. Our hearts were gladdened this year by the introduction into our midst of a recruit from that noted institution of learning, the Baltimore City College. 2I This youth is our well-beloved friend and classmate, Leroy M. Langrall, who brought with him considerable folly and indifference, but his ,association with the members of ,O2 has wrought a great change in him, and he has acquired the vim and energy CFJ that is characteristic of our class and of the school. 1 Examinations drew nigh, and as they came on apace our hopes of coming scathless out of the battle fell considerably. Having some compunc- tion on the subject of using a crib, we decided that, rather than use one, we would beard the lion in his den, and ask for a day or two in which to prepare for the final tests. So, accordingly, we went to him to whom all such matters are referred, and put our request in words as plain as possible, at the same time stating what we considered our very plausible reasons. Now the President, out of the kindness of his heart, might have granted us what we asked, but just at this time our beloved and esteemed Vice-President put in his appearance, and our dreams of two days' grace were Put to flight. He was of the opinion that our power of discriminating between good and bad would not enable us to cull out that portion of the work that would be most beneficial to us. We were, therefore, to be placed under his guiding hand for one day and were to be allowed but one of the days for which we had asked. As this arrangement did not suit some of us, the unsatisfied ones insurged -and paid dearly for it. How sweet is freedom when enjoyed in opposition to the commands of those over us, and how dearly we ofttimes pay for it! As autumn was only too rapidly creeping nearer we returned once more to those corridors and rooms which we had learned to love. Our class had dwindled in size until now but nineteen of us were left to face the struggles of our last year. This year we were again to have the pleasure of adding a City Collegian to our numbers in the person of Isaac Seeley Jones, a rustic youth from the wilds of that country village yclept Relay. ' One of the most pleasant incidents that happened this year was the trip our class made to Annapolis in conjunction with the Postgraduates and divers members of the Faculty. This journey, made in November, had for its object a tour of the shops connected with the department of steam engineering of the United States Naval Academy. Through the kind- ness of Dr. Geer, of this city, the yacht Sylvia was put at our disposal. On account of the early hour at which we were to start and the long distance to be traveled by most of the boys before arriving at the point of embarkation, 22 we were granted the privilege of sleeping aboard the good ship Dale on the night preceding our trip. Slumber was not to be thought of on that occasion, for -between the boys and a certain little dog, such a din was kept up that Morpheus would view us only from afar. VVe took revenge on the dog that morning at breakfast, but we had to store up our grudge against the offend- ing boys until some more opportune moment. A small dog goes a long way to satisfy theappetites of a crowd of hungry boys. Arrived at the Ancient City at IO A. M.: dinner at I P. M., football game at 3 P. M. Left Annapolis at 5 P. M., arrived at landing place at 9 P. M., set foot once more on Mother Earth at 9.35 P. M. As my History is now almost at an end, I would like to present to the kind readers of this volume a few words in reference to the progress the Polytechnic has made during the last few years. Wliile the class of iO2 was yet an unknown quantity, this school had touched the low-water mark of its history. There are now living in this city young men that attended the Institute during the period of which I write, whose presence only added to the already unfavorable impression which people held of this institution. These young men have given to the public in general the idea that the atmosphere which existed here was not conducive to the best training of young men. 1 would like to dispel all such erroneous ideas as may still be lingering in the minds of those who have not kept themselves informed in regard to the progress of the Polytechnic. The same year that '02 appeared upon the horizon the School liioard saw fit to place that able gentleman, Lieut. VVm. R. King, U. S. N., at the head of this school. Lieutenant King stepped into the breach and threw himself, heart and soul, into the struggle of pulling the school out of the slough into which it had fallen, and has more than succeeded in placing it on a foundation from which it cannot be easily overthrown. Now, my dear readers-I say dear for the reason that I know every one of the boys will show this to the fair maiden on whom he lavishes his attentions-for any facts aboutthe individual members of this class I refer you to the other portions of this volume, which I judge will be more interesting to you, as 1nost people consider history dry reading, and I fear this one is not an exception to the rule. , You, my dear classmates, will ever be followed by the best wishes of your friend, TI-IE HISTORIAN. 23 Prophecy J' AN EXPERIMENT IN PHYSCHOLOGY .al 'L HAVE been honored by the request to write a prophecy for my class not because of my merits, but because I am a member of the great Society for Psychical Research. I have a Psychology-crystal, and, upon looking into it, I have upon occasion seen and seemed to hear strange things. Late last evening my faculties were peculiarly alert. I dimmed the light, shaded the globe, and placed it in the proper position for psychic experiment. I saw sundry trivial thingsg then all at once my thoughts seemed to concentrate on the future of my class, and a vivid vision' came. I seemed to be in a balcony overlooking a banquet hall, and as I looked, the banqueters began to pelt one of their number with salted almonds and other missiles. At first he seemed surprised, but a smile came over his face as he said in mock-grateful tone. No bouquets, please. As the effect of his request was only to create more noise and to excite remarks about his nationality and powers of speech, he leaned back in his chair and said to his neighbor: Things appear to be coming my way more than usual. When the uproar had somewhat subsided a rather small man, with a very shiny bald head, rose from his seat at the head of the table and said: Say, fellersl-I mean gentlemen. I suggest that each member of the class give an account of the position and achievements of some other member. I protest -this from a rather tall man, whose only distinction was a very curious watch chain of miniature ladders, hose-nozzles and firemen's axes. He was pulled back into his seat by a comrade whose face I could not see because it was so nearly covered by a black and bushy beard. The gentleman at the head of the table, who was the president or the chairman for the evening, said: I should like to take a vote on my proposition. Ah! Fifteen in favor, live against. The motion is carried. I will practice what I preach and tell you what I can learn of Mr. D. Frank Lamble, who is still known to his friends as 'Yank.' VVe have the 24 pleasure of entertaining in him one of the largest and youngest planters in South Carolina. He would have nothing: to do with politics until this year, but when Senator Tillman died Frank allowed himself to be run for the Senate, and so great was the revulsion of feeling against pitchfork politics that he was elected in spite of the machine. In the past fifteen years, with very little backing, either of capital or of influence, behold him transformed from a very ordinary boy with a predilection for football into one of the most prominent men in his State. As he is so conspicuous in public life, it is probable that every one of you knows almost as much about him as I dog therefore, I will retire in favor of Mr. Baldwin, who, though neither the oldest nor the most beautiful member of the class, comes next by virtue of the accident of name. There rose from his seat a large, heavy man, with a luxuriant crop of light hair. He looked as if he might have played football in his youth, but this may have been only my imagination. As he,spoke, he kept his right hand on his vest, occasionally swinging it out upon his ellQow as a pivot, a sort of deprecatory movement, as if he were asking'for a small contribution in the 'way of ads. or dues. He spoke ina deep voice, with a sort of hesitating ah! before each sentence. As he spoke, I recorded: Gentlemen, ah !-Mr. Chairman, ah-Fellers: I think I had better say what I know about Flicky- I mean Flickenschildt. He took up bowling as a scientific study, and by the use of the higher plane curves found the exact method of rolling by which to make a strike every throw. He is now owner of the Monumental Bowling Alleys. of which there' is a chain in New York, Philadelphia, Balti- more and Washington, with the headquarters at home. Over his headquar- ters are the rooms and gymnasium of the Eastern Athletic Association, which, with Flicky as president, has lately gained supreme control of all athletics in the East. That is all I can say except that you can tell by the stud in his bosom that he is doing very well. I object, was called out before Mr. Baldwin had time to sit down. The objector, who had been before suppressed, was speaking. But as I come next on the roll, I will take up'my parable. Our hairyvfriend right by me here is Mr. Charles A. Pettit, Professor of English literature in Harvard Univer- sity. The irreverent Undegraduates called him the 'bearded lady,' and when he is mad, 'Comusf His early work was done at the Hopkins, but he soon went to the University of the United States, in Waslmington. He graduated so brilliantly that Harvard offered him an Assistant Professorship. He has 25 been there ever since, and is now at the- head of the English Department. Thus we see that early antipathies are not always natural, but are sometimes inspired by ignorance. In closing I may say that Macbeth is very carefully explained to all his students by the Professor in person. John Bull, English, Cautiley, Kipling, come to de front Bill, Mr. Caut- ley, yourlturn, caroled the little man in the big chair at the head. A few yards of long resignation rose wearily from its chair and addressed the company: I will retaliate on Charlie by telling you everything I know about him. We all know that he went to Altoona and there did very wellg that he was. given a position with the great T rans-Continental Road, the Atlantic and Pacific, that he still holds the position of Advisory Engineer, though his life 'work is composing. His opera Vulcan was inspired by the sights and sounds in the great shops in Altoona, and the foundries and rolling mills where he worked for some time. VVC all know the story. It is laid in the Underworld. with Vulcan as monarch. where all is peace until it is visited by some of the beautiful semi-immortals of the upper world. Vulcan marries one of them, and she and her followers create discord among the dwarfs. The great battle between Vulcan and his followers on the one side and the disaffected gnomes on the other was suggested to Charlie by a visit to one of the big iron-making plants. The molten metal, the big hammers, the half-naked men, the semi-darkness and the 'noises from the boiler shops gave him his inspiration. The great Boiler Makers' Chorus was also sug- gested by thisg the long roll of the pneumatic riveter, the deep reverberation of the great sledges, and the sharp staccato of the hand-hammers, all blend into a most wonderful effect which is one of the greatest triumphs of modern musical interpretation. Charlie says that he is going to give up his railroad work and retire to the Southern Pacific for inspiration for a Samoan opera, into which he will weave the native melodies. I expect to see him off on the train tomorrow, so you had better say good-bye before you go tonight. ' It is my pleasure to tell you about Mr. Wm. A. Michael also. I must say that Bill has most certainly come to the front. His recreationris superin- tending all the engineering work on the Pennsylvania Railroad system, his special hobby being the motive power. For this he receives a small remunera- tion-somewhere in the neighborhood of SI2,000 per annum. Mr. Michae1's real lifework is the management of a very large Sunday-school in this city. I have often asked him about his work, and he has invariably launched forth into an account of his Sunday-school labors. As to his history: I-Ie found a 26 place in the department of motive power of the B. 8x O. 3 did very well there, and was sent by them to study the methods of the Baldwin and other loco- motive works. After some eighteen months he returned and rendered such signal service that he was promoted to the grade of superintendent. His rise was continual, and through what some call luck, but the initiated call hard work, he is now the greatest authority in the United States on Sunday- school matters and the locomotive. As Cautley, alias John Bull, sat down, Mr. Yardley announced: 'iGrand- pap will now speak his little piece. Senator Dall, will you please address the meeting ? I am afraid I don't know much about the subject in hand, but I take great pleasure in announcing Prof. VVm. L. Del3aufre as my subject. First, gentlemen, I propose a toast-'To our greatest scholar.' This was answered with much enthusiasm and the speaker proceeded: I shall not say a great deal 5 not because there isn't much to say, but because we all know of Deliaufreg how he worked his way through the Hopkins, how he took the Cecil Rhodes scholarship at Oxford, how he was made one of the assistants in Applied Mathematics at the great United States University at W'ashington, how, by means of his mathematical knowledge, he invented an absolute cut-off valve for high-speed engines, which enabled Mr. Michael to make radical changes in locomotion. All this we know, but it is not known that he has the most complete collection of mathematical books in existence, most of them being second-hand. Gentlemen, I thank you for your attention, and beg leave to take my seat. Much applause greeted this pleasant little address and I said to myself, Grandpap certainly has blossomed, I'll hear of him later. Our Chairman: I will not follow the roll so closely. I will take the order down the table. Mr. Gieske, will you honor us ? There seemed to be no particular change in Walter except that he had acquired a look of decision, which had been rather lacking when he was a young man. He had also acquired a very handsome mustache. f'I am sorry, fellows, he said, to say that I am unable to choose one of my stars, but I will tell you of Mr. Jones, who, though not a star, is a pilMr of the State. He fol- lowed the footsteps of his father, and is now waxed mighty in politics. He is Councilman, fire, police, and school commissioner, and in his line is the most powerful man in the city. The secret of his power lies in the fact that his is the controlling factor in the honest forces in city and in State. I want you to remember what I say, in case anyone asks you Wl1at happened to jones P 27 From the head of the table: Mat Leisenringf' A rather well-groomed man rose and started to speak, first taking a look at two very large and hand- some cameras behind him. Boys! Men! Fellers! I am going to orate on him so large of brain and small of body--G. Forney Shryock, Esquire. Much cannot be said of him, as newspaper work is exciting only to the reporter, and not very often even to him. Forney, by dint of saying little, thinking much and working more, after much struggling and some luck, secured first the editorship, then ownership of a San Francisco paper. He branched out to one city after another, and he now owns papers in San. Francisco, Chicago, New Orleans, New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore. The sheets are uniform except forthe news, editorials, and ads, which are local. His New York paper and the general work, is under Mr. H. Q. Lay- man, another of those with more brains than body. Quimby stayed iu news-W paper work, and though not quite so successful financially as Forney, his editorials are as widely read and are as weighty as the written opinion of any other man in this country. I can only say that, though these two gentle- men are small of body they are large of soul. Mr. Layman's soulfulness. appears in his editorial writing in the use, as a confirmed habit, of the term 'Beloved,' and in the absolute prohibition of liquor ads from his paper. Cousin Joe, speak up, and please remember to use plan American and' not the high society dialect which is your usual method of communication. ' Our President is pleased to be funny -the speaker was of middle height, passable looks and most exquisitely attired. His only peculiarity was the- queer rings he woreg there were a munber of them, none conspicuous, but each very peculiar. Classmates, it is my lot to tell you of the extraordinary development of Donald Hays. Soon after he left school, he felt a call to the ministry and entered a theological seminary. His early sermons showed much force and flow of language. He was called when he graduated and' was successful in his charge. He soon left this regular labor for evangelical' work, and is now doing an even greater work than was done by the Rev., Campbell Morgan. N ow F orney, said Yardley, after you have made a sufficient number of excuses for all you ever did and never did, will you please favor us with a few words ?', Excuse mc, Gentlemen, please. Mr. Wm. S. Samuel, who has succeeded the Frohman Bros. at the head of the theatrical trust, is a power in American stage affairs. And, strange to say, he works not so much for himself as for the drama. His first connection with the theatre 28 was a minor part in f'Ben Hur. There his interest was aroused by what he saw, and he set to work to place himself in a position to elevate the stage.. He succeeded, you know the result. We have seen much of each other, as my work is to report upon him and his plays, and I must say he is pleasant to work with, though he occasionally goes off about mathematics. There was much applause as Forney sat down. The little rustle and side comments that always occur after a speech subsided: then the Chair announced, The Right Reverend Dr. I-Iaysf' The same old Donald got up, and though his face and form had changed slightly, he was easily recognizable. Brethren,', he said, I give as my text, Brother Joseph, a man who has not been spoiled by society. Our society man has not followed the usual rutfbut, after working hard for a few years, he stopped work entirely one leap year and started to do society. His role was the vigorous man, and by the middle of summer he was supervising field sports, baseball games, tennis tournaments, and contests of all kinds in that metropo- lis of society, Newport. In September of the same year he was proposed to by three of the most charming ladies of the land, and condescended to marry one of them. By the combination of his great wealth this wife'sj, his won- derful tact, and his vast influence as the greatest leader of society in America, he has contrived to put high society on a healthy hygienic basis. In doing this he has been of incalculable benefit to the people of our country, and of inestimable harm to the makers of candies, fopperies, etc. Brethren, my blessing be with you. There was a brief silenceg everyone seemed stunned, then thunderous applause. The Chair: Oh, Jack! Mr. Hess, will you give us a little talk in English? Jack rose and spoke as follows: Fate was against himg or, the story of John G. M. Leisenring. John wanted to be a photographer, but he has succeeded only in becoming a celebrated surgeon. He studied at home and abroad, and was with me for four years. He took my photos and doc- tored both my followers and the natives wherever we happened to be. He is the recognized authority on the peculiar diseases that occur in such extremely high altitudes as Thibet and the Himalayas. By means of his very compact photographic apparatus, he has brought back records which show that my notes about the curious little dwarfs in North Central Africa are all true. These people are as near the monkey as any living human being, and their climbing powers are nothing short of marvelous. John is now holding a very high position in one of our Westerii towns, as chief surgeon in a hospital. I 29 was examining the speaker while I listened. He was a little man with fiery red hair and a torpedo beard that was redder even than his hair. One noted a queer thing about his handsg they seemed to be gripping something all the time as if their owner led a life of surprises, which had to be guarded against. When the usual applause had subsided the Chair called on Mr. F lickenschildt. Our friend with the large shirt stud got up and addressed the assem- blage. Fellow-Alumni: I will do my best to bowl out my great friend, Mr. Leroy M. Langrall, President of the Oyster Trust. It was he who gave us the delicious oysters we had for the first course. They were very large, but would be positively puny beside the new high-bred canning oysters, which come two oysters to every can and no room for oyster liquor. His patent can, in which solder is not used at all, brought him a small fortune. Leroy trifies along without any apparent exertion, and yet he gets through about twice as much as his neighbors 5 I don't understand it. Oysters are fattening-look at Langrallf' e Now, Mr. Samuel, I will give you a chance to talk, our Chairman said. Mr. Robert Dall, Populist Senator from Kansas, responded Mr. Samuel, a very large man with very round shoulders, who kept one of his big, moist, pudgy hands stuck in his pocket. Little as I know about the Senator, I think it is as much as is known by any of us. He migrated to Kansas soon after his graduation, he went into the irrigation anl tool supply business, and took up politics as a recreation. He gradually worked his way up from the ranks, and is now not only the Junior Senator from Kansas, but also at the head of the irrigation business in his State. The speaker sat down with a sigh of relief, for it was hard work for him to carry his weight. . Our influential friend from South Carolina will now give us the benefit of his silvery tongue. It is a great pleasure to speak before so distin- gui-shed a little companyfl Senator Lamble began. I will say a few words about my friend, Mr. Walter M. Gieske, the distinguished Irrigation and 'Waterways Engineer. It was purely accidental that Walter became a water- ways engineer. He was traveling through some barren-looking lands in Southern Maryland with his father, a large tobacco merchant. These lands, his father told him, were, when properly watered, almost the best tobacco lands in the Stateg but as irrigation was unknown there, the ground was' worthless. Going to Cornell shortly after, Walter was attracted to the course from which he finally graduated. After his collegiate work, he again went to Southern Maryland and found that the barrens would be comparatively 30 easy to irrigate. His report to his father was so encouraging that Gieske, Sr., invested in a large tract, which he told Walter to experiment on. The experiments were very successful, both commercially and scientifically. I will say nothing more, except that Walter is now working on plans for the irrigation of all Maryland, and that he is known from Catonsville to Cape- townf' This second Senatorial speech was received with great applause, but when Mr. Yardley' announced Professor Pettit, there was a sudden silence. The bewhiskered pedagogue arose majestically and delivered himself as fol- lows: Our Protesting Life-Saver-Chief lloyd. Frank, after finishing the postgraduate course at our school, devoted the next year to the study of the fire departments of the various cities of the United States, of London, Paris and Berlin. He entered the ranks of the fire department, and, having studied the details so thoroughly, rose quickly until he became Senior Assistant Chief. About this time Frank's life was very nearly cut short by his bad habit of protesting. He had just saved a child by bringing it out of a long hall, the ceiling meanwhile dropping in chunks. NVhen he reached the ground the doctor wanted to examine him, but Frank protested that he was all right. In consequence he had brain fever and was laid up for nearly a year. This winter when the old Chief resigned, Frank was made Chief Engineer by unanimous vote. We all wish him few fires and small losses, I am sure. When the crowd was once more quiet, Charlie announced the fluent Mr. Layman. A head that was pure white was now raised and a small thin voice addressed the banqueters. John S. Hess, Esq., F. R. G. S., and enough other letters and orders after his name to fill an A, B, C card. Our soldierly explorer, Jack, is well known to me, as an explorer is more or less in that public eye fthe newspaperj all the time. He is of a very roving disposi- tion, and has gone with several trading and exploring expeditions into Africa. He learned three or four languages while there, and heard of the Climbing Dwarfs, whom he afterwards discovered. His enthusiasm was so great that he persuaded some wealthy New Yorkers to fit out an expedition. He com- manded, and Dr. Leisenring was the only other white man in the party. Jack found the pygmies and was rewarded by some very important discoveries, both in the anatomy of the dwarfs and in the remains in their country. From this time his career was secure, and he has since been back in Africa twice, and in Thibet and the Northern Himilayas three times. He is soon to start for some little known region in South Africa. Gentlemen, that is all.', SI V Won't some one please tell us about our friend John Bull, Esq.? said the President. He is the only one left. There was a dead silenceg none seemed to know anything about him. Gentlemen, I will tell you this- mush about myself. I am' very well pleased with 'the world, as was to be expected, and I have a visible means of support. If you wish to know more you: can find out for yourself. This was the sign for general pandemonium. In. the midst of the uproar, when missiles were flying thickest, I saw Mr. Langrall reach for a button in the wall. He pushed it and the lights went out. The darkness put an abrupt stop to the riot, and I heard Charlie call out, Come on out to the coat room and we'll Hx the time for the next meeting, and go. I heard the revelers trooping out, knocking over a few chairs on their way. The door closed 5 then there was silence, and I was left in darkness. Suddenly a bright light dazzled me, and I found that I had unconsciously turned up the gas. When I could look up, the crystal was blank and there was only a pile of hastily written paper before me. Thus it was that I ful- filled my promise to 1ny class, and my only hope is that they will have patience to read my work. 0 ga vpooogv 32 Class of 1901 Postgraduates of 1902 - .s Colors-White and Blue Motto- Every Man to His Humor ALLEN L.

Jester 'grant-at-Arms History of Class 1901 Q29 NCLINE thine ear, O Beloved, and list with much attention to this last, the thousand and twoth tale, that of the history of the tribe of 1901. Many years ago, in the reign of the mighty and exalted Abou Ben Garfield, the edict went forth through the length and breadth of the land that a great institution was to be reared, where the young men of the country could sit and give ear to the wisdom of the sages and elders who would there instruct them in all the qualifications which should' grace the persons of the princes of their peoples. ' The situation granted by the elders of the city for this great university of learning revealed the wisdom they had gained during the passage of the years that had bent their shoulders andfsilvered their locks with the icy breath of time. VVhat could more ably raise the thoughts of youth high into the shimmering clouds of wisdom that drape the portals to the throne of Allah than the conviction that life was a miserable pilgrimage through a Slough of Despond, and what could better inculcate such beliefs than a glance from the windows of this palace to be? Truly, O Beloved, the wisdom of the ancients was great, and their good deeds will live forever. And when, at last, the master workman pronounced all finished, and when the young men of the land had gathered themselves together to gain knowledge, the institution began to grow strong, and wax great, and prosper muchly, so that its fame spread abroad in the land, and great were the hosts of young men who arose and girdled up their loins and hied themselves thither to sit at the feet of the aged men of the tribes, and to gain wisdom from their words. . And it came to pass in the second year of the reign of the Caliph of the city that certain of the young men arose, and came together, and gat them- selves to the portals of this great palace, saying unto the keeper of the gate: Admit us, we pray, for we are come from the far countries, even beyond the rolling river of Jones, and we would hearken to the sayings of the wise. And when the gatekeeper, Abdallah Ben Rhody, heard these words, his bosom was dilated, and he prostrated himself before the travelers, giving 34 thanks to Allah, and saying unto them: Enter, O my lords and masters, and may the blessings of the Prophet be showered upon your heads, and may he preserve you from all dangers. And so they entered and mingled with the inmates of the temple, and moved on with them until they had entered the great judgment Hall, where they seated themselves in much fear, for verily their joints wer loosened, and thir knees smote violently one against the other. And they left not the hall until they had enrolled themselves on the scrolls kept by the scribes as the Class of 19o1. , A And before many days they took counsel together, and one of their number arose to speak, and after many salutations he spake in this wise, and said: It behooveth us, O,my brethren, now that we are called the Class of 1901, to uphold our dignity in a fitting manner, so that thc days may be long before the memories that survive us shall have departed from the mind of man 3 therefore, let us consider with much prayer and fasting, and choose from among us a chief who will lead us with tenderness as a father leadeth his children. who will restore our spirits and make glad our hearts in time of trouble. And they fell on his neck and wept: and in accordance with their desires, they chose the exalted and virtuous Sheik Pat Allen Mustapha, of the tribe of Maloney, from the far-away land of Kil- larney, to be their ruler in all things 5 and when he had embraced the com- pany, and called on the Prophet Cwhose name be exalted lj to bless them, they departed. I 1 Thus they continued many days, and behold the time Hew quickly, even to the end of the year, when they parted and went to their homes rejoicing. And when the time had come when once more for the elders and the wise men to congregate together again to instruct the youth of the land, behold, those of the class of 1901 met with much rejoicing, and they sat themselves down before the wise men, and much was the knowledge they gained thereby, and they chose another chief tolead them through the trials and vicissitudes that- lined their path, and his name was Charlie Hop, and it was said that he had 'come from the parts beyond the edge of the world. called the Celestial Regions, the caliph of which sat on a throne made of a golden ironing board, and his scepter was a jeweled Hat irong and when the company had chosen Hop to be their leader, they rejoiced greatly, for he was a mighty and a virtuous chief, and of great fame. And throughout the year they learned many things, and profited much by the teachings of the wise men, so that, when the men of the tribe of 35 Naughty-naught were about to buckle on their diplomas and go out to war, the Naughty Ones arose and said: Lo, let us weep and be sad, for we are .about to separate from our brethren, and they will go to lands far from us 5 and let us lament, and tear our hair, for peace and quietness will come back to this place from which she long ago fled, and our bosoms will become contracted with weariness, but to hide their sorrow they made much rejoicing, and they sang songs, and they yelled yells, until the city resounded with the din thereof, and they spread much destruction, even unto robbing the grave of its dead, and they divided the bones among them to show that, even in their grief, they still realized that Death, the King of Terrors, was not a circumstance to the tribe of N aughty-Naught 2 and thus they passed the time in much pleasantness until they separated and went to their homes, to wait until the fall of the leaf should once more warn them to 'arise and get wisdom. And great were the blessings of the Prophet, to whom all praise be rendered. And when the tribe of IQOI came together once more, they wept be- cause they were fewg and again they assembled to choose a father to lead them. Then, lo'! they'beheld an aged pilgrim approaching, a staff sup- porting his feeble footsteps, and the scant and silvery locks of hair adorning his temples, betokening the great age at which he had arrived. And when he h d approached, they took counsel among themselves, and said: Lol Is thi a ghost, or is it truly the body of our Sheik, Pat Allen Mustapha ? And tl talking was great, for verily the resemblance to both ghost and mor- tal was narked. And the apparition spake to them, and to the little sheik who did all the talking, saying, 'fBehold, am I not Pat Allen Mustapha, once the chief of this clan ? And the little sheik in the mighty trousers answered. saying, in such a mighty voice, Oni, oui, that all the young men fell on their faces, and thanked the Prophet, whose name be exalted, for his mercies to them 3 and thereafter peace and contentment reigned for many days. ' Thus for the space of another year they resided together, and they gained much fame, both for their learning and for their prowess in battle, where under the leadership of the long-haired sheik who was descended from the ancient race of the Apaches, they won a great name, smiting the' opposing knights of the pigskin, hip and thigh, and leaving them in sore distress. But in accordance with the decree of Allah, whose mercies be extolled, all things must have an end, and at last the time came when these young men, who had gained much' wisdom and knowledge, had to return to their 36 L P homes 3 so they arrayed thmselves in purple and fine linen, and gat themselves to a place of entertainment, and after much good counsel was giveni them, each was presented with a scroll, whereon was inscribed in letters of gold his name and his deedsg and when they had for the last time broken bread together, thy embraced and departed 5 and sorrow overcame the writer hereof, and his tears overflowed until his senses left him, and he knew no more.

History of Class 1903 J' S a rule, the Class Historian is elected at a class meeting when he is absent, and as a usual thing, the electio11 is unanimous. Then the rv . , .... . j lisgiuiptn' ' President refuses to call a class meeting until the history is written, so that the Historian cannot resign. Also, but iquite incidentally, the man selected to write the history is just a little flattered by the title of historian, and would probably not resign if he had the chance. But now, at the beginning, let me state that it would be an easier task to write a history of the whole world from Adam and Eve to the present day than to write a history of so famous a class as Nineteen 'Hundred and Three. Our class is composed mainly of good, staunch B. P. I. boys, and there are one or two who have decided that the B. P. I. is just a little better than another not very distant school of more high-sounding title. These person- ages were not of this opinion when they first cast their lot among us, some how or other, owing to certain strange reasons-probably to fthe fate threat- ened, if they did not change their colors-they have made a decided change in their sentiments, and I dare say that now they would do anything for -their teachers, except stay in after school for the Instructor in Mathematics. Our class started its careeras BU class quite smoothly, but, alas! we we were not to drift idly about the halls sighing and wishing we were home, for we were very soon drawn into the whirlpool of study, at the bottom of which we found our dear old instructors with wide open arms and singing, God Save Our King! At first the teachers were very loving and kind to usg so much so, in fact, that they could not part with us at two-thirty, but very politely requested our presence after. school. But of late our instructors have made a decided change as regards keeping us in after twoQthirtyg this is probably due to the fact that they recognize in us a class of sterling worth, hard to conquer. Among the many versatile and exceedingly bright members of the class, we have just discovered that we possess the Finest Glee Club in th city. In fact, it is such a great club that the audience shouts with glee when at the end 41 of every number. The club's favorite song seems to be The Old Oaken Bucket, and when they sing this beautiful old ballad everybody within a thousand miles wishes that they would-get their mouths full of something besids songs and potatoes. And then, before I forget it, our class includes two or three professional tramps, who were to walk to Washington, but did not go after they found their prospective exploit was mentioned in the dailies Cthis was all they wanted, and so it was. not necessary to walk.j But these are not the only members of prominence we number, for we are the happy classmates of an invincible dynamo builder and expert mechanic. I would advise anyone into whose hands this histc ry may fall to call upon this very able and accomplished gentleman and order one of his New Patent Dynamosf' Not only is he expert at the machine, but he is also noted for his ability to pick out figures of speech-Q What figure --? j Among our many abstruse studies, German is, perhaps, the most in- structive, for we get three solid periods of German every week, and in them we manage to find out what we don't know about German-and English. As yet. our class has not done anything very desperate, but I take the liberty Cand personal riskj of warning the teachers that we are saving up for next year, when we shall be glorious A class, from which we shall sail forth upon the cold.and deep ocean to battle with the storms of life. But our class has a very happy future, for we can look forward to the coming lectures we are to receive on Steam Engineering, German. and Electricity. We shall then sit and ponder the great wisdom of the teachers, and softly repeat to ourselves Goldsmith's And still they gazed, and still the wonder grew, That one small head could carry all he knew.

Thus it is with the class of ,O4. Q-QQJI-22.5 At the opening of the term of ,OI-'o2, the members of this class were indiscriminately thrown together, as if nature, in retaliation for injuries received from them, had mixed those fresh from the classic halls of the Grammar Schools with others who possessed a few dim ideas of dull plane-irons and untinned soldering coppers by virtue of their previous ex- perience in the now defunct preparatory department. The former were greatly abashed by the familiarity of the latter individuals with everybody and everything. But this feeling soon wore off, as the newcomers in their endeavors to display what they knew Q ?j of the work, showed rather forcibly what they did not know. However, order was brought out of chaos, and 46 the class as divided into three sections, the first being composed of the boys from the preparatory department, and the remaining two of those from other schools. This arrangement was the cause of a friendly rivalry between the divisions for the best standing, with the general result of equal success for all. But it soon became apparent thata definite organization was necessary, in order to compete with the other classes, and to draw together the three sections. Accordingly, a general meeting of C class was held for this purpose in the venerated Faculty room, about the first of October. Nomina- tions were called for. Our noted athlete, Mr. P. Henry Harrison, was elected President. Mr. Harrison advanced to the platform and, with tears in his eyes, promised to love, honor and obey, and not to come to school more than thrice a week. He has kept the last obligation most credibly, not- withstanding many temptations to do otherwise. Mr. Robert G. Pangborn, the beloved of our Expounder of Impossible Mathematical Problems,,' was chosen Vice-President to assist Mr. Harrison in his arduous duties. Mr. Earl A. Bemis, being a hard-working chap, was made secretary. Here it is a case of nough said. Upon Mr. Evan U. Rinehart fell the laborious work of Treasurer. Mr. Rinehart positively refuses to disclose to anyone outside of the class the amount of money on hand. Let us infer that the proverb, No news is good news, applies here. The distinguished full-back, Mr. A. K. Brumbaugh, was elected His- torian. He received a tremendous ovation. Then came the momentous question--VVho would be Chief Rooter? After a sharp fight, Mr. Louie Bennett captured the honor. Who, after watching Louie', at the football games, could doubt for an instant that our decision was a wise one? Mr. H. E. Steele was chosen assistant. Blue and white were adopted as class colors, after the election of officers was con- cluded. Later on the class pin and the orange and blue iO4H caps were secured, the latter attracting attention everywhere. Thus organized, the class began to take interest in general school affairs. Eight men, besides three substitutes, played on the school eleven, and Har- rison, the Captain, has been re-elected for the season of ,O2. Then Brum- baugh was elected manager of the baseball team. 47 ' Let us hope that, if we ever attain the dignity of an A class graduate, and call the Polytechnic our Alma Mater, we shall be remembered: not with shame nor indifference, but with pride.

History of Lowell Literary Society J' HE Lowell Literary Society, originally called the Current Topic Literary and Debating Society, was organized by the Senior Class 26, 1900, to the Lowell Literary Society of the Baltimore Polytechnic Insti- of 1898, on September 17, 1897. The name was changed October tute. The first officers were: President, J. Howard Flayhartg viceipresident, George C. Wilcox, secretary, J. Lowrie Ingle, jr., treasurer, Harry R. Ruse, sergeant-at-arms, John M. Rifeg executive committee, J. Howard Flayhart, George C. Wilcox and J. Lowrie Ingle, Jr.g board of curatorsy George C. Wilcox, John M. Rife, and Herbert T. Snyder. First the society met bi-weekly on Fridays 3 afterward every Friday. The meetings were held at first in the Institute Library, later in the Assembly Hall, and are at present held in the Institute Annex, where the society has a room devoted exclusively to its requirements. The literary exercises usually comprise a criticism, a declamation, a reading, an essay, a review, extemporaneous speeches and a debate. Addresses are occasionally given by members of the Faculty. In course of the debates, the leading topics ofthe day are discussed. In conjunction with the Glee Club, an entertainment is usually given at Christmas. A play has been given with success evinced both in the numbers and in the interest of the auditors. It is hoped that both the younger pupils of the school and all- who may hereafter be enrolled at the Polytechnic will take as deep interest in the welfare of the Society as its present and past members have done. The students of the Polytechnic should foster the Lowell Literary Society because it tends to engender a proper school spirit and offers the amplest opportunity for improvement in literary lore. G.

X ' -T W ' Y f 5 ?- t HERE have been man ears of hard work and much ex mense on the Y Y l p part of doctors and other citizens of our country to find some remedy for the sad and seemingly incurable disease that is causing so many of our institutions for the insane to fill so rapidly, and necessitating the building of so many more to meet the growing demand. ,It is a sad reflec- tion when we consider that, in these years of science, art, and most wonder- ful inventions and discoveries, that up to the present year there has been found no relief for that fearful malady that is cutting off such a vast number of our good people with the outside world. ' No longer, however, will there be any necessity for the construction of such buildings. 1 No longer will there be any need of endangering the lives of those faithful servants who have given themselves up to the care and pro- tection of the unfortunate inmates of such asylums. The remedy has been found. There is an old saying, The older the generation, the greater and broader are the minds of those that live in it. So there have come within the walls of the Baltimore Polytechnic Institute students whose minds have grown and broadened, until they have been so fortunate as to discover the cause of this sad affliction and its remedy. They are ndw proud to say that, as a reward for their long and tedious research, they have been successful in establishing an order for the betterment of their country by lessening the number of victims to thismalady, i. e., insanity. They are sure they will win the praise and admiration of all who hear of the noble object of this society. At a meeting on November the third, nineteen hundred and one, the date of foundation, it was resolved that this society should in the future be 59 called The Independent Order of Work Despisersf' The responsibilities and obligations of each memberywere stated to be to work for the increase in happiness, liberty and prosperity of the citizens of our country, and for the decease in mental destruction. The officers, motto and anti-colors were also chosen on that date. The members have increased the happiness, liberty and prosperity of their comrades and countrymen by all such diversions and entertainments as they could themselves perform, and by pointing out all that occurred within their vision for the refreshment of their own and their comrades' minds. They have decreased mental destruction by eluding all unnecessary mental or bodily exertion themselves, and by causing all others to do the same. Theyhave also tried by every means within their power to regulate the length and number of lessons for home study, the number and difficulty of problems to be done in classroom, and the amount of work to be finished in the drawing-room or the shops. They thus hope to make their city, their State, their country, noted for the soundness of mind of its inhabitants. They hope to change all insane asylums to playhouses for children. They hope to make a new epoch in the history of the world. Jwork de: Issr lgpvnj lc work. 'fax 6 3 mzvvsxl Qt i 4 r fi ,A , -.QV li , .s , K 1 . 'A , X ..----.'.

A - Ed. Johnston, of the Postgraduate Class, was elected Captain, and Joseph A. Baldwin, of A Class, Manager. From the candidates for the team, Captain Johnston selected Weiss, Pg.g Raidabaugh, Pg., Henthorn, A., Hess, A., Fahnestock, B., Bowes, C.g Demarest, C.g Brumbaugh, C., Rinehart, C.g Stayman, C.g Pangborn, C.g Harrison, C. 3 Robb and Dawson, Prep. Dept. Mr. Thomas Ford very kindly offered to coach the team, and his offer was gladly accepted by the management. The first game of the season was played at Ellicott City with Rock Hill College, and the Polytechnic team was defeated by a score of 6 to 0. In this game the team lined up as follows: Fahnestock .... Left End Harrison ............... ..... L eft Tackle Rinehart and Pangborn .... . . ...Left Guard Bowes .................. ........ C enter Raidabaugh Brumbaugh .... . . . Hess ...... . . .Right Guard .Right Tackle . . .Right End Robb .... Quarter Back Weiss ..... .... L eft Half Back Demarest ........... .... R ight Half Back Johnston QCaptainj ....... Full Back The next game was played with the Boys' Latin School, at the American League Park, and it also was a defeat for the Polytechnics. The team lined up as in the Rock Hill game, with the exception of an exchange of positions between Hess and Harrison, Hess going to tackle and Harrison to end. ' V The boys were disheartened by the second defeat, yet they summoned sufficient courage to go against the Loyola College eleven g but the Hoodooi' still followed the Polytechnics, and after 'a stubborn resistance they were again defeated. But the end was not yet. After much talk in and out of classrooms and secret meetings in the corners of the lunchroom, a new team was organized, with Demarest, C, as manager, and Harrison, C, as captain. The new team was comprised: Fahnestock and Dawson... . .--. Left End Hartley and Stayman ..... .... L eft Tackle Leary ....,..... ..... .... L e ft Guard Stewart . . , ........ Center Rinehart ............ -.... R ight Guard Reynolds and Pangborn ..... .... R ight Tackle Harrison CCaptainD .... ..... R ight End A Robb ................ .... Q uarter Back Bowes ..... .... L eft Half Back Demarest .... ..Right Half Back Brumbaugh .......... ...................... F ull Back Without an experienced coach, the boys got down to hard practice, and hope began to rise again in the hearts of the lower classmen. Their first test was a hard one, a game with the Western Maryland second team, at Westiiiiiister. The boys played a fine game against great odds and antagonistic officials, but the same old story must be told, they lost again to the tune of I6 to o. Some say that the defeat was due to the indescribable dinner eaten at the Hotel Albion. Yank Lamble accom- panied the team in the capacity of umpire. T The next game was with the old enemy, the Baltimore City College, at Union Park. In this game Johnston rendered material service by playing 62 during the entire game, while Raidabaugh contributed his avordupois and nerve during the last half. The game was all lfolyteclmie up to the last min- ute, but then the same old chrome put in an appearance, and a B. C. C. man got around the end for a touchdown and the game. It seemed as if the new organization was to share tl1e same fate as the older, but the next game turned the tide of ill-luck and the Westerii Athletic Club fell an easy victim to the prowess of the Institute. The score was 6 to 0, and should have been more favorable, as time was called when the ball, in Polytechnie's possession, was on the WCStCfl1S, half-yard line, and another play would have put it over. The team had games scheduled with the Maryland, the Harlem and the Franklin University teams, but these clubs failed to materialize at the appointed time, so there was a lapse of two weeks, which was filled up with diligent practice. Then came the Thanksgiving Day game with the Loyola Alumni Eleven, and the boys closed the season with a brilliant victory, the score being II to 0 in their favor. This was the last and best game played. Every man played from start to finish, and the way they tore holes in the Alumni line and skirted the end was a sight to gladden the heart of every Polytechnic sympathizer. Allthe players deserve mention, so it can only be said that there is the promise of a fine team yet to come. - Bowes, Brumbaugh, Demarcst, Dawson, and Robb deserve a place on the roll of honor, and Harrison is conscious that his services were highly appreciated, he having been tendered the honor of the captaincy for the team of 1902. ' P. H. H. at Essay 63 Baseball ae S most members of the faculty have always been adverse to the introduction of athletics, it has been and ever will be a matter I of surprise and satisfaction that our teams have attained the posi- tron they occupy at present-able to compete creditably with any of our I ' - . collegiate contemporaries. Again, to foster athletics, it is absolutely necessary to have school spirit -a virtue sadly lacking in the B. P. I., owing to the heavy press of studies. There have been times when our numerous teams have threatened to develop, but our earnest desires and cherished hopes were blasted by a few, who considered time spent in baseball as wanton sacrilege in a student's career. The baseball team began the season of Igor with flattering assurances of support and reasonable prospects of success. We had the substantial co-operation of the faculty and student body, who occasionally attended the games and evinced intense interest. Mr. Charles Hoppert was elected manager, and D. Frank Lamble, familiarly called Yank, captained the boys, who represented the orange and blue. The first game was won in a manner that would have been creditable to a team of longer training and wider experienceg likewise the second, and even our third opponents fell victims to our prowess. There seemed to be some supernatural power constantly holding above us a little crown of success. Oh, that such had been the case! As we were now swiftly sailing over the sea of success, we inopportunely struck a hidden obstacle, our old rivals-City College--who, after a long struggle, succeeded in winning the game with a score of 9 to 8. Loyola admitted that we gave them the hardest rub of the season. The loss of those two games is not a disgrace to any team. The season closed with a beautifully contested game with Deiclnnan's Preparatory School, at Maryland Oval, which was tendered us for the eventful occasion. The old reliable Vincent was in the box, and so entirely did his twisters escape the vicious cracks aimed at the leathery sphere that we had no trouble in defeating our opponents. Yank Lamble and Yardley 64 T played their usual brilliant game, Lamble making six hits and scoring asf many runs, while Yardley grabbed 'em with the air of a professional. Malone! covered center in creditable style. The batting order was as follows: Lamble . . . ..... :,. . - . . ..... First Base Yardley . .. Harrison . . . . ..Short Stop . . .. . .Catcher Johnston. . -Right Field Weiss ..... . .Left Field Malone - - . Center Field Hoppert . . . Second Base Vincent . .. .Third Base Abercrombie ..... Pitcher Schulz, Raidabaugh, Baldwin, substitues. Again this year, the school had excellent material to draw from but , ,. lacking a practice ground, with all of its conveniences, we concluded to wait until next year, when the School Board is expected to appropriate SCH-ID for the advancement of athletics in our neglected school. It is the sincere hope of all connected with the Institute that our necessity may appeal to their generosity. Lamble was re-elected captain and Brumbaugh manager. It is our earnest desire that the Polytechnic Baseball Team may, in the- future, rise from the smouldering ashes of defeat. and fly slcyward to the realm of glorious victory. May they often engage their antagonists in battle royal, always remembering to do only what will redouncl to the honor and glory ofthe school. - ' Wa assay' 65, T U 1 x f- f - 1- f- if 'if -L. :X T 4 1--... ...Z'. il b- Z- V rpl e. 3 X jgjgy-f ff llilifl, ff' 1 ' ' fi 9 -it .V W' J T 3 l l ig i 4 A g 64 5 X Mil' lx ,, -.75 W I, 1 1, pi -,- I, ii iii in Mn . 1 If l I ii ...-- .17 !,l,i?,. , irinlfi ' I5 Aim! ti W rf' 43 W I MmWmf!l'7 lvl , 1 N i V, I ii , W if i HAT better medicine to excited and tired nerves is there than change of surroundings? Well did the boys of the class of ,og appre- 2532? ciate this fact, so the banded to ether and or anized a Tramp Y g 2 Club. under whose banner they sally forth into woods and meadows, glad to be free from the toils of daily occupations and at liberty to breathe the fresh air whichthey need so much. These boys are pioneers in a good causeg lct others be wise and follow. T Soon the members became very efficient in the art of walkingg aching muscles and sore joints became things of the past. Twenty and thirty miles were covered as if it were nothing, distance being forgotten in enjoyment of the scenery. Whae beautiful natural scenery and landmarks and magnifi- cent artificial' wonders were exposed! Mills, the old-fashioned kind, with grinding burrs, soon to become a thing of the past. were examined by the Tramps, Boys, while you have the chance, go to see these millsg they are fast disappearing. 66 1 Most likely in future days the members of this Tramp Club will recall those pleasant hours spent in Nature's domain, and will remember that a few became inspired and wandered off into verse-land and recited poems to the heart's delight. When spring came, what joy there was in spying out the first flower of the year, and how it was treasured as a token from nature! Then those poetic dreamers would exclaim: ' Spring, with that nameless pathos in the air, Which dwells with all things fair, Spring, with her golden sun and silver air, Is with us once again, etc. ' Years hence, when our worldly cares are such that they will need our constant attention, a few recollections of the days passed in the woods and valleys, mid charming glen and rippling brook, will release us from the clutches of concentration, and relieve our minds while refreshing them for another attack upon our labors. So, boys, keep up the Tramp Club. and let it be to you a school from which you must draw your own knowledge, as well as a recreation from busy hours. You will then begin to understand the great amount of labor expended in forming this globe upon which you live, and will be inspired with nobler sentiments and loftier ideas. M.

Then came a walk to the Relay and back. The members who were present in all the trips, were Brumbaugh, Steele, Leary, Bemis, Valentini, Reynolds and Small. They were accompanied on the third trip by Bowes, Pangborn, Rinehart, and Robb. Then came a call for bigger game, so it was decided to walk to Annap- olis. Only five showed up for this tramp, but they enjoyed the trip thor- oughly. The party consisted of the following: Steele, Bowes, Brumbaugh, Rinehart, and a boy from the City College. Hot weather having arrived, the trips were temporarily abandoned for swimming. It is expected that when the fall comes a large number-will join us, and the organization may be turned into a Cross-Country Running Club. 68 lBAl.T1Momc AMERICAN, Friday, May 0,1902,j Engine Built by Students tiki, At the Baltimore Polytechnic Institute yesterday afternoon the new 48- horse-power high-speed. automatic cut-off engine, illustrated above. of the Harrisburg standard pattern, made by students. was run for the first time. Mrs. William R. King, wife of Lieutenant King, principal of the insti- tute. opened the throttle shortly after I o'cloek, and the engine started off on its trial run with great smoothness. After Mrs. King started the engine she was presented with a beautiful bouquet of white roses in behalf of the members of the engineering department by Mr. Allen L. Malone. Mr. Andrew J. Lowndes then delivered the dedication address, in which he presented the engine to the school. The engine was built during the school sessions of 1900-'01 and 1901-'02, under the direction of Lieut. Wm. R. King. Principal of the lnstitute. 69 Almost Killed Joe Baldwin's. very nervous since it has been said That corporal punishment would be used and he might lose his head If the crime should be put upon him, surely Mr. 1-lall'd win, But when Joe heard it spoken first, the news almost killed Baldwin. Boyd was running a lathe, obeying all the rules, He thought he'd nearly finished the work, and gathered up the tools. Unly filing was needed, and he was overjoyed, Alas! The work tlew off the lathe, and the crash almost killed Boyd. Cautley sat a-thinking of some long-gone joke, I In this room he'd often tried at the teacher some fun to poke. His wrinkled brow was noted, as he smiled most haught'ly, But a piece of chalk came sailing by, and the shock almost killed Cautley. Dall leaned out the window and gazed along the way, Where a festive hurdy-gurdy ground out ragtime bright and gay. He enjoyed himself immensely, his elbows on the wall, But a teacher came along with a big Hat board, and the blow almost killed Dall. De Baufre bought a book on Eutaw street, you know, And when he wants another book up there again hc'll go UD, For he thought one was a quarter, but ah! he was 'way offg They asked a dollar for a second-hand book, and the price 'most killed De Bauf'. Flickcnschildt tried to bowl with all his might and main, And his opponents bravado at once began to wane. In statuesque pose Flick stood to throw both deft and quick, But he slipped and sat down, with the ball in his hand, and the disgrace 'most killed Flick. Gieske used to drive, at least two days in the week, But when he drives his nag out now, be sure it's very meek, For once he met an autog the horse, it broke its halter, And' then it kicked so very hard, that the hoof almost killed Walter. Hays picks up a wire against most sage advice, l-le ought to be more careful for he's seen the thing done twice, He leans against the gas pipe and no attention pays- 'l'he subtle force shoots through his arm, and-the shock almost killed I-lays. '70 Henthorn stood on a corner, trying to tlirt with a girl, 1-lis eyes in search of a beauty rare, a Jane or an Anne or a Pearl, Meeting a friend, he asked her, Come in and take a sody, But he stepped on her skirt with his muddy boot, and her look almost killed Jodie. I . 0 Hess is quite a marksman, as you ought 'to know, He always hits the bull's eye if given any show, But he once hred an ancient gun, the rest l'll let you guess, The recoil was worse than a sledge-hammer blow, and the kick almost killed Hess. Jones comes in from the Relay on the B. and O., And when he leaves the Institute, back 011 the same does go, He stood too near the engine, regardless of his bones, NrVhen the engineer opened the throttle wide, and the steam almost killed Jones. Lamble was playing at football, at which he's considered expert, .-e always plays a showy game whenever he sees a skirt. Once he made a grand-stand play and along the field did amble, The fair one turned her eyes away, and the slight almost killed Lamble. Langrall's never sad, but smiles the livelong day, I-le tried to learn the German tongue in the natural wayg 1-le once pronounced an nmlaut, and thought hc, Oh!

He beats the car to town, l assure you, you can bet it, But once he rode upon a tack, and the puncture 'most killed Pettit. Samuel were a smile, his mind roamed far away, Perhaps some vision of Ben Hur at night or matinee- Leading the horses around, or following after the camel- But Mr. Uhrbrock raised his hand, and the blow almost killed Samuel. Yardley sat at the piano, his fingers on the keys, With music Howing through his brain, and through his hair, the breeze, He attempted to strike an elusive chord-to strike, I said-but hardly, For an awful discord rent the air, and the boys almost killed Yardley. Shryock is a reporter of considerable local fame, But when he reports a marriage now, he never misspells a name, Once he wrote up a wedding and used G instead of C, Next day the bridegroom encountered him, and the blows 'most killed Forney. I The class of 1902 will live when others die, Ah me, what might have been its fate is sure to cause a sigh, For they all took a trip on the Sylvia, but alas! alas! alas! A sudden gust of wind came up, and the blow 'most killed A class. .29 J' W'ith Apologies to W. C. B.

A Class Meeting if meeting of the grlduating class It was only through diplomacy vga: 1- and a tip to the doorkeeper QYankj that I managed to gain admittance. The Faculty Room was already crowded with enthusiastic members of the class, and the bald-headed president sat in the front row, in a reclining position, on his resk, his feet cocked on the desk adjoining. His private secretary CQuimbyj sat beside him like a good little schoolboy, with three pencils behind each ear and a couple between his teeth, ready to write with both hands. Do you see that fellow with glasses ? remarked a short and thick-set individual, pointing to the vice-president on the president's left. Well, he's an ugly cuss and wants to run the whole class. He is the reform candidate for the next presidency fof the class, of coursej, but he won't get myvote 3 and mentioning something that sounded like Dutch to my untrained ears, he shoved his lists into his breeches pockets and subsided. A The representative from Lutherville was by this time becoming violent and needed some attention. Sit down every one of you blooming --, by gravy, or I'll hit' you with a rubber, shrieked the chief executive. O-h, swell up and bust, retorted the representative from Lutherville. You bald- headed Lob--, but, alas! his sentence was cut short by the presideut's threatened eraser, which caught him over the eye. He sat down. ' The room was in a roar. If you boys don't get quiet I will go right home, cried the secretary, rapping his pencil on the desk so hard that it could really be heard. Sit down, again roared the president, at the same time flinging another rubber, this time at our English correspondent. A great row occurred here, and amid loud whistles and cat-calls the Englishman-was politely ushered out of the room. Orderbeing now restored, a fellow arose to speak. He was a pretty piece of work, his hair parted in the middle Qwhich has long since gone out of styleb, and wearing a coat with about ten pounds of unnecessary padding at the shoulders. But on being politely asked to sit down, he did so. A SHORT time ago it was my good fortune to be present at a 2.9 QI: ' A I. I n 74.- The good oldnwoman QI mean Aunt Maryj now arose, ljutisfeeing that she could not gain her point while the meeting was in such alstate of con- fusion, she resumed her seat. ' i Mr, President, can I speak a little with the fellows ? yelled our great mathematician. ' ' -. 1 , '- Shut up, fellows, won't you? Willie wants to make a motion. iBut nobody paid attention to his calisthenics and he, too, satdown with a grunt. . The question before the house had now been pretty welldishclnssed thy the members, and soon one of them got up and made a motion that it he voted upon, but here the Mayor seemed dissatisfied and proceeded to tell the meeting why. ' ' ' ' ' T -- ' He said: 'Tll be gol-darned if I am going to stand for such a thing. The idea of letting two fellows run this meeting ain't fair, and 'I think the rest of you ought to object as well as I. But, unfortunately for him, unovone else seemed to be of the same opinion. I-Ie sat down foaming at the mouth. The Committee on Class Pins now read its report, in which everybody seemed to take particular interest, and rejoiced thatithe timeito pay 'up -had not yet come. , . , The pendulum-less clock's hands already pointed to a quarter past three and some of the members seemed in favor of going l'lOlTlCi,i4WllllC others C the aristocracyj insisted on finishing the business before adjourning.

The summer sun had slipped down its silvery western slope some three hours since. You close your eyes. You see once more the old classrooms. ln one, seated behind his desk, you see the good face of the mathematical instructor, who looks as if he were always near some explosive battery or upon an insulated stool. He is a man of very fine feelings, you think, but has a way of reducing all action to dry, hard, mathematical system with very little poetry. You know there was not much poetry in his daily problems, and still less in his final examinations. But you do not dread them now. Notwithstanding his polish of mind, made manifest by the piercing lustre of his eye, and by his expression of hard midnight toil, he was a lovable gentleman and treated one with a courtesy that will not be forgotten. You see all the old faces-your classmates, your instructors, their griefs and joys and toils chaining them to the labor of life-each one in his thought coursing over a world as wide as your own-perhaps wider. How many 78 worlds of thought there are in this world of ours! You look back again- you see all new toilers in their morning of life, with their tasks-plain tasks, and easy tasks, because they are certain tasks. Happy fellows, you think, who have to do only what is set before them. llut the time is coming, and coming very fast, when they must not only do, but know what to do. The time is ,coming when in place of one master they will have a thousand mas- ters-duty, business, grief-each giving them harder lessons than any of their present cares. llut now the moon comes up, its mellow light casting a pale reflection over the rolling waters. You and she are sitting upon the beach of some summer resort. It is probably in front of a hotel, and during an intermission in the dancing. You are awakened from your blissful dream by a soft touch upon your shoulder, and you become aware of the dawn of your second life- the life of affection, the stepping stone to Heaven. You love her, you know you dog but you know not how you came to love her. You know only this- you have always loved her. She is so good, so gentle, so confiding, that you never once think the whole world may love her as well as you do, and you drift off into commonplace talk. You speak of the ocean, of the people in the hotel, and of your future plans, for you are to leave early the next morning. She, as charming and beautiful as ever, shows a lively interest in every- thing you say. Suddenly a breeze comes up. The air is chilly, and as you place a wrap about her shoulders you are wont to let your arm rest there for a moment. She-dear heart-does not feel offended, but turns upon you those orbs which reflect the blue vault of heaven, swimming beneath that pensive brow. You cannot refrain. It is over. She is yours-yours for life. And you unconsciously think: VVhy is it and how is it that such things come to pass ? You cannot tell. It cannot be solved. It cannot be separated into its elements 3 it cannot be turned up on the lathe, nor planed upon the planerg it cannot be solved by resort to the Calculusg Boyle's law and Charles' law makes no reference to it, neither does the combination of the two, there is nothing pertaining to it in Analytics or in Trigonometryg nay, it cannot be worked out even by the old stand-byf' Ohm's law. So you give it up, but not in despair, for it is near your heart--very near-as also is the inspirer. Time flies. The moon is well up in the heavens. You bid a long farewell to the one who is to be your happiness, and in a few minutes you are back within your room. Presently you are seated in the old Morris chair near the open window. It is perhaps twelve o'clock and all is quiet without 79 save the incessant beat of the waves upon the shore, but they do not disturb you now. You are enveloped in the sweet fumes of Maryland Club, which rise lazily from your meerschaum. You watch intently the gray smoke as it mounts and curls about in the moonlight that steals into your room, bearing many cheerful and beautiful visions, one after another, until at last, gently Hoating over the sill, they break and are lost forever in the midnight breeze. Your pipe goes out and you are almost off to lands of dreams, but before you are safely over the bar there comes to you again the sound of waves, and you repeat once more that favorite passage-- the mournful'st verse that ever man heard tell -from Lyciclas: Ay, me! whilst thee the shores and sounding seas wash far away 1- You hear a sound, you awake from your reverie. You hear an owl scream-at least you imagine so. You hear the crickets cry, but it is only some one in the next room smoking his pipe. You are certain you hear a voice cry Sleep no more, and you go footing slow toward the door, only to hearthe bell-boy shout, Ice water. essay The Dismemberecl Graduate Up in a tower dark and cold, So the story goes, There once did dwell a spectre bold, And he lacked both flesh and clothes. But though he hadn't a shirt to his back, His bones had a yellowish sheen, Supplied by copious coats of shellac, That made him look devilish mean. His bones absorbed by the ton, As he basked all day in the light, The brightest rays of the noon-day sun, To shed them all during the night. Ere the night did turn to day, With rattling, rasping sound, Througli the halls he went his wayg Paying his visits round. With his friend on thc wrought-iron gibbct below, He stopped for a smoke, slow and mild, The tobacco for which was furnished, you know, By some seventh or eighth grade child. In the very small hours of the dawning morn I-le shook his friend by the toeg For. as you know, he had to be gone Ere Chanticleer did crow. Before he left the second Hoor Some mischief he must dog So he stepped in Mr. Uhrbrock's doorg What he did is known to few. Straightway to the clock he goes And swipes the pendulum--alas! i The devil full well knows 'Twill be blamed on that B class. 81 As about to mount- the stairs, With his long, lleshless hand, From the bell its tongue he tearsg On the A the blame will land.

D., when Gains Boppus was Consul of Rome, that the city was visited by a plague of levity and frivolity. Boppus was a man who had fought the Parthians in the East and had made millions in the Toga Trust. Running perpendicularly from the Forum towards the Capitoline Hill was a small dimly-lighted street. and about half way up this street stood a Temple of Learning. One afternoon during the month of September a cab stopped in front of this place and two men alighted. After one of them had stumbled over the ash can, they slowly ascended the steps and rang the bell. The taller, whose name was Amperium, was a celebrated authority on electricity. who often visited Sunday schools and lectured on the evils of smoking and drinlcingg the other was a serious-looking man, who wore a green toga and patent- leather sandals, and who mumbled spasmodically, Sit, jessica, and see how the heavens' Hoor is inlaid with patines of bright goldfl This person re- joiced in the cognonien of Virgil, and was a descendant of the celebrated poet of that name. Presently the door was opened by a tall, athletic-looking Roman, named Cycloidius, who held in one hand a pair of dividers and a trig in the other. After embracing the newcomers and kissing them on each cheek, he said: XVelcome, brethren, who enlighten the dense and tutor the unlearned. They answered, Peace be to thee, O brother-priest of the Temple of Learning. At the last word they raised their eyes in surprise, for someone was ascend- ing the steps, four at a time. It proved to be Ripperus, the President of this 84 Knowledge Dispensary, who was a graduate of the Galley Academy, and sailed on the first ship carrying two tiers of oars. ' When the newcomer had disengaged himself from the copious embraces of the other three and recovered his breath, he said: We are indeed lucky, for having a quorum, I, as chairman of the Committee on the Improvement of the Condition of the Unlearned, do hereby call a meeting to consider the existing pestilence in Rome. The three others cried, Veto! Veto!! Veto!! ! but the chairman said, Show your authority. None being shown, they entered the sacred portals, and the meeting proceeded as follows: R'ippe1'us-We are assembled today to exterminate mirth from among the Plebeians. The Three Lesser fin chorusj-Bravo! Bravo! Rippcrlzs-Tlie way to get rid of this is to sift the thing to the bottom, to dig to the roots, to make short work of the ringleaders, to weed out half the cityg aye, if necessary, to declare martial law over the whole town! The spirit of levity must cease!! C ycloidius-Those are my sentiments exactly, but let me suggest cor- poral punishment. Rippcrizs--l:ly George! VV ho asked you to suggest?

'A'k: f'S?I x+-' Sf' The Two New Members of the U. O. L. .Q In the great City of Mathematics lives a maiden named Ana Lytics. Unlike most women of her native country, France, she does not vaunt her beauty, and it is only after many months-of acquaintance that her charms appear, and then only to the careful observer. She is despised by many be- cause they are neither tenacious nor patient enough to keep wooing her until they discover her attractions. By many she is cast aside because, from a very slight acquaintance, they do not seer her usefulness. But to a few she appears in all her glory. She is dependent upon a society in this city known as the U. O. L. fUnited Order of I..oci.j This society dates from the birth of Ana Lytics, and is one of the most noted in the city. Although the Origin, the Abscissa and the Ordinate are not genuine Loci, they have been admitted to family gatherings, and given names x2-I-y':o, x,:d', and y,:d2, respectively. The officers of the society were chosen with great care, and are as follows: Dk President Q . . . . ORIGIN First V1'ce-President . . AXIS OF X Second Vice-Pifcsfideut . ...... AXIS OF Y Secretaries .... . ABSCISSA AND ORDINATE Treasurer . . . ..... I-IYPERBOLA Scrgcants-clt-A1'n1s . . ASYMPTOTES 'It .may be interesting to some careful reader to know how these equations are derived. The locus of x2 +y2-r is a circle described from the origin with r as a radius. Therefore, x2f1-y2:- 0, denotes a circle with the origin as a center and o as a radius. This evidently represents the origin. Also, the formula for Ax, -l- By - C. the distance of a point from a straight line is d:--?if7- Now the dis- A2 +132 . tance of a point from the axis of y, the equation of which is x-o, is the abscissa. And, if we substitute in the above formula with fx,, y,j as the point, we get dl -x,, the abscissa. In the same way, the equation ofthe ordinate is derived. 90 The Origin was chosen President because it was believed that since he did not depend upon any other member he would have no reason to be partial. The Axes were made Vice-Presidents so that they could make the Origin ap- pear whenever he was disposed to stay at home. The Abscissa and the Ordi- nate were made Secretaries for the reason that they could get at every point of the proceedings so well. The Hyperbola was chosen Treasurer because he could go to infinity if necessary to collect the dues. The Asymptotes were made Sergeants-at-Arms, as they acted by authority of the President, the Origin. Everything ran smoothly in the society until a dispute arose between the Abscissa and the Ordinate. Each was of the opinion that he was more neces- sary to Ana Lytics than was the other. The dispute waxed hotter and hotter, and they nearly came to blows. They were separated, however, by the Origin, who gave them into the custody of the Axes. A meeting of the U. O. L. was at once called to decide what was to be done. Soon all arrived and settled down, the Loci of the Second Order taking the front seats. The Directrix of the Circle was given the easiest chair, since he came from infinity. The Directrices, not caring at all about the value of the Ordinate, were in favor of the Abscissa. The Sub Tangent and the Sub Normal, although they are always on opposite sides with reference to any point on the circle, Ellipse, or Hyperbola, supported the Abscissa outright, the,Ordinate, in their estimation, being useless. The Directrix of the Conjugate Hyperbola, however, was for the Ordinate. There were many lines on each side, but most were neutral or equally favorable to both. 4Those in favor of the Abscissa combined on one side of the room under the leadership of the Directrix of the Hyperbola. Those in favor of the Orclinate combined on the other side of the room, under the leadership of the Directrix of the Conjugate Hyperbola. ' The Origin called the assembly to order, and after explaining the cause of the meeting, said : I am neither opposed to nor in favor of either claimant. I am, as you all know, entirely impartial. Something must be done, however, and we should be pleased to hear from any member on this momentous question. Mr. Presidentll' called several voices at once. The Circle has the floor, said the President. The Circle started off vehemently in favor of the Abscissa, but the next moment was as violently in favor of the Ordinate. Then he was as violently QI against the Abscissa, and anon, as vehemently against the Ordinate. When he sat down he was in the same position as when he had started. Although they knew that he could get around a point very well, a broad smile was on every countenance, for it was proverbial that the Circle, though not a crook, could not keep straight. The Minor Auxiliary Circle arose and heartily supported the Circle's. positions. The Major Auxiliary Circle then stood and said: I agree with everything that has been said, but I do not quite understand how the Minor' Auxiliary Circle arrived at his conclusions: I can never put myself in his place. ' I can fix that all right, said the Ellipse, and as he broadened out, the difference entirely disappeared. I want to sayif' but he was cut short by the following: Hullabaloo, hullabaloo, lrVe're for the Ordinate, Who are you? This was answered from the other side by: Ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling dell, We're for the Abscissa, U. O. L. Then followed retorts from both sides continuing so long that the President nearly ruined his mallet trying to quell the outburst. At last order was restored and the Ellipse continued with a speech similar to that of the Circle, but more violently for and against the Abscissa. The Parabola now took the floor, and in his speech seemed to favor the Abscissa rather than the Ordinate. The Primary Hyperbola gave a very exhaustive discussion, starting from the limit on each side, and going to that on the other. Remember, ' interrupted the Lemniscate, when you criticise the Hyperbola, you include' me. The Conjugate Hyperbola then contradicted every statement made by the Primary Hyperbolag in fact, his speech was the exact negative of his namesake's. The Hyperbolas were referred to the Asymptotes by the President. 92 The Cissoid suddenly arose, gave all the arguments for and against the Ordinate, and then showed how to duplicate the cube of the case. The Conchoid began with, I have trisected many cases, but this is the hardestf' I-Ie then gave all the points for and against the Abscissa. The Witch of Agnesi, arising slowly and gracefully, and smiling sweetly on the Abscissa, said: I love the Abscissa, because--.U A woman's reasonfl volunteered the Ellipse, who was frowned upon for his pains. Turn- ing to the Axis of Y, the Witch changed her mind in favor of the Ordinate, at which the Ellipse muttered, A woman's privilege. Cycloid obtained the fioor, and reiterated his only statement, until he was ordered off the Hoor by the President. The Spiral of Archimedes arose from his seat by the Origin and started as the Circle had done, but grew more violent every moment, until he was ordered to sit down. The Origin now asked if they should take a vote on the matter, but the Loci were timid, and wanted to know how they could be defined if the Abscissa and the Ordinate were expelled. The Axes then spoke up, and said that with the help of the Origin and the Intercept, they could fix that all right. The Axis of X explained as follows: I shall be mixed and lie through the Origin, about which the Axis of Y will revolve. The Intercept on the Axis of Y will give the point of the Locus. Thus the variation of the angle that the Axis of X makes with the Axis of Y, and the Intercept on the Axis of Y, will give the Locus. By unanimous consent this scheme was adopted. The Angle was called the Vec- torial Angle, and the Intercept, the Radius Vector. Both were made members of the society. A The Abscissa and the Ordinate heard this plan for getting rid of them, and decided to adjust their differences, that they might remain members of the society. With their minds thus made up, they humbly begged to be heard. The privilege being granted, they told of their determination to stop their quarreling and ever after to hold their peace. They were forgiven, but to their sorrow found that their folly had made them rivals. The meeting now adjourned, and all went to pay court to their beloved Ana Lytics. Q 1 p 1 93 Who?

How we wished the German Language was not! Yet, alas! alas! Schill'er's Der Neffe als Onkel had to be translated. , Well, proceed, jack, requested the Doctor. After a mome-nt's glance at the notes, the student addressed began: Nutzn:.-Zu-Zu Bern Tivfrhl, nnadige Fran! 15,5 helivhtc Ellzru -Herrn Gic- malzl, sith in mein -Hans zu xrersugenf' fTranslates.j Notary.

This 'Dero' is an old German form of the demonstrative 'der,' but is now out of use. Schiller puts the form into the mouth of the Notary, for the reason that this class of public servants spoke in the language of their fathers. You see what a master this Schiller was. The passage should have been translated, At your service, gracious--' The Doctor stopped short. The serious expression on his face changed to one of alarm as he stepped quickly toward the door. There stood the Lieutenant, apparently in pain, supporting his left arm in his right hand. VVhat accident could have befallen him? It was not unusual for some unfortunate from the mechanical labora- tories to come in quest of the Doctor's aid, but the very sight of the apparently much-disabled Lieutenant caused dire consternation to spread over the whole class. Doctor, the Lieutenant said, I'm in trouble. Have you a needle and some silk? It's very painful to me, this- Yes, yes, right here, Lieutenantg what can I do for you? Ah, I seeg let me assist you to remove your coat. Certainly,', the Lieutenant assented, but it pains me greatly- No doubt, no doubt, Lieutenantg but I think we can Hx you up shortly. 96 . W'i,th Doctor's help thc Lieutenant succeeded in removing his coat, but, instead of the badly lacerated arm, or much-swollen wrist, that the gazing A's expected to see, there was exposed to the view of the horror-stricken students the rustling silk sleeve of the Lieutenant's shirt. I a1n sorry to take your time, Doctor, the Lieutenant explained, but, Land of the Midnight Sun! thesc machine-made shirts!! Why, the sleeves in this one are fully three inches too long. I wish you would take a reef in them, Doctor. Lover of machinery though I be, by George, I'll never get another machine-made shirt again, if I know it. Gee Wl1izz!!! Doctor took in the reef as carefully as if he had been performing a delicate surgical operation, and the Lieutenant went happily on his way, leav- ing us to continue as best we could our struggle with the German translation. -L1 N wooD. if it as ical?

I o 1 The Trials of an Ad Canvasser as Leaving the temple in which so many yet-to-be great men have paid their vows to learning, we slowly wended our way down the shop-and-hotel- lined forum. Our purpose was, as the vulgar hath it, to get ads, but in the language of the cultured, to solicit advertisements for the year book, the one and only year book, the book that will live forever, the book the children cry for and the old people crave, the book the boys idolize and the girls adore. We did not want the ads for any monetary consideration, oh, horror! no. We, as benefactors of humanity in general Cand of the stockholders of the book in particularj, wanted the ads, to increase our patrons' business any- where from 200 to 500 per cent. Thus, with benevolence and love in our hearts Qand a bunch of advertising contracts in our pocketsj, we set out on our journey for the purpose of sowing broadcast happiness and prosperity. Stopping in front of a lunch-room, we eventually decided to try our luck. We suavely approached the proprietor, but before we could make known our business he yelled, Grab yer lunch from the table and pay the lady at the desk. Not being hungry, we tried in vain to make him under- stand our errand. My fellow solicitor went up to him by actual count nine- teen times and I twenty-seven times, and each time we were met with the same greeting. Finally, the crowd having dispersed and we having spent sixty-three cents in trying to make him understand, we were able to state our business with some eloquence. When we finished, he said: Yer fellers have to see the boss 3 he's gone out to lunch, and won't be back until four o'clock. With a slight comment on the unappreciativeness of mankind, we walked until we came to a dairy that seemed promising. After a few words of encouragement from my colleague, we went in and inquired for the manager. A man who looked easy appearing, with unusual glibness, we told him our reason for disturbing the serenity of his placeg whereupon he answered: Boys, if we can supply the milk for your school we will give you an ad. VVe told him that milk was too weak for us, and he replied tl1at he advertised only in class books of schools that used milk. An hour and a IO2 half of talking did not change his resolution, and finally we left, vowing in- wardly to boycott him, and thus to ruin his trade. After walking for fifteen minutes to shake down our ruffled plumage, we found ourselves in front of a tailor shop. After the usual bracing up we entered. A short, bald-headed man greeted us with a S30-Suit smile. As we related our story, his smile, after changing to a 5520, then to S10 and S5 ones, successively, gradually diminished, until it disappeared entirely. Then, while we were completing our lecture, his countenance contracted into a frown 3 but after he had pondered our speech about ten minutes, he exhibited into a malicious grin, and said: Boys, it's hard work, ain't it ? We said it was, and gave another eight-minute discourse on the benefit the ad would prove to his business. Then he said he was very busy, but that we might return in three years. We went out, but did not see the joke in his last remark until we were three blocks away, and then it was too late to return. Walking around until our nerve returned, we came to a cigar store. We entered, I vowing inwardly to get an ad. Once within, we saw it was a dingy shop permeated with a pungent odor. just then a customer entered for one centls worth of cigarettes, and I consulted my friend as to the wisdom of taking an ad from the proprietor, for I feared both that the page might not be wide enough to hold his name, and that he might not have the few ducats necessary to emblazon that name upon our pages. My friend answered wisely in the words of the ancient Roman, An ad is an ad gf' so we decided to tackle it. Another man came up and motioned with his hands, from which we inferred that he meant, Go ahead. Our elevated language probably awed him, for he called an employee, to whom he sputtered in a strange language, consisting of many tongues, of which the principal was Greek. The under- study asked us what we wanted, cigars or plug tobacco. We, being ab- stainers, wanted neither. but told him of our scheme for increasing his business 0071. This explanation enraged the boss, who tore his hair, and had just picked up a keg of tobacco tothrow at us when he was stopped by our interpreter, who said if we were wise we would clear out. VVe were ready to go, when I suddenly remembered my vow, and, calling the peace- maker to me, said: There is a quarter in it for you if you persuade the old man to give us an ad. I-Ie then entered into a conference, in which the whole shop joined. I heard a few German words and, by the smiles on my champion's face, I knew we were winning. Finally he came to me and asked the price of the cheapest ad, whereupon I answered, f'VVe do not charge for the ads, but for the time lost and the trouble incurred. We 103 will put a one-eighth page ad in free if you will give us three dollars to cover general expensesf' After another heated argument he went to the till and drew out three dollars, but gave us only two-seventy-five. Not even giving us time to protest, we were hustled out-of-doors. The ad, of course, was an offset to the injury to our feelings, and we considered our- selves lucky indeed. Going to a bootblack for a general brushing up and a. shine, we asked him for an ad, more out of habit than anything else. But the answer that he gave us was certainly startling. He said: My time is all taken up, and it would be impossible for me to give the proper attention to your varied and extensive discourse, although I assure you that it is through no fault of mine. Kindly drop a line to the Faultless Shoe Shining Company of New York. This is their establishment, and all advertisements must come through them, although it will give me great pleasure to jot a recom- mendation at the bottom of your letter. I was once a college boy myself, and, although, through a foolish wager, I have been reduced to this lowly oc- cupation, by George, I enter into the spirit of your ad-getting with all my old- time enthusiasm. Here was surely a romance, but as I had several unvisited places on my list, I concluded not to let him continue, especially as romances have a fascination and a peculiar after-effect upon me. Thus we labored until seven o'clock. Once, and only once, was there any hope. That was at a haberdasher's. We had finished giving our war- cry, and the proprietor had gone back for the remaining five dollars left from the advertising fund, when a young man entered. Seeing our agreement ready for the signature of the merchant, a light evidently broke upon him, and, walking back to the man, he said, Uncle Charles, won't you take an ad from me? Ma told me to come here. We are getting along nicely and just need your ad to fill up our programme. Now, who could resist the entreaties of a pleading child? The man held up the five dollars and said, Take it, my child. Thus the man lost the greatest boomer that he had ever met. We had left the school with hearts full of love for our fellow-men, but I assure you that, had it not been for our spirit of resignation, that Iove would have changed to bile and choler.

' HFIREMAN PATQ OR, WHO COOLED THE CRANK DISC. By Allen L. Malone. A popular, thrilling, up-to-date historical novel. Stirring to mind and body. Price, at a great sacrifice, SO.IO. 114 Triple Expansion Engine Shrinking on the Crank Disc .al The automatic cut-off high-speed engine, in course of erection, was nearly compieted. The class of '99 had left as a remembrance a well-built and efficient electric generator, and we, the '02, were finishing the engine to run this generator. But there yet remained a very important piece of work to be done-the shrinking of thc crank-disc upon the shaft. The shaft had been finished for some time, and to all appearances the .crank-disc was ready, too. But that is where we were deceived, and so we waited. Yet it was not our misfortune to wait long, for those who are patient are rewarded, and in due time the crank-disc was finished. It was this way, you know: the crank-disc had to be put on the shaft and secured, and, in order to accomplish this, it was to, be shrunk on. Now, when the disc is to be shrunk on, the diameter of the shaft must be turned several thousandths of an inch greater than the internal diameter of the bore of the disc. When the disc is heated, the bore becomes larger and allows the shaft to -enter, as the disc cools, it shrinks and clamps the shaft. And this is the pro- cess of shrinking. The disc being now ready, it was carried down to the forge-shop, in -company with the shaft. Aye, the forge-shop! How sweet the memories! We loved to see the Haming forge And hear the bellows roar. To march around from post to post, Un th' 'ard cemented floor. Our slumbering emotions are awakened when we recall those good old times that have long since passed. But to return to the story. The shaft was secured to a differential hoisting gear, so that it could readily be swung into position. Care was taken to see that the disc was so placed on its supports as to be approximately centered with the shaft. But what did we know of the process? Shrinking! QOur hands Hy up in consternation when we recall those moments.j 'Tis true we knew of one 116 ' kind of shrinking, but that was experienced only under the influence .of withering glances from our Professor, who knows all about thePC0S-9, beingthe equation of the sub-latus rectum of the parallipse. But of all the lectures within the limits of the machine shop, the process of shrinking was a mystery of mysteries! The Lieutenant observed the looks of blank dismay and the prevalent air of utter ignorance as to what was going on about us, while preparations were made, and 'twas quite natural that he should immediately proceed to improve this disgracefully helpless condi- tion. Thereupon he began an eloquent discourse, treating the laws of ex- pansion of metals when subjected to heat, in a most scientific manner. You understand, he began, that when the disc is heated, it expands. The expansion is continued until the shaft can easily be forced into the bore of the disc. The disc is then allowed to cool, whereupon it shrinks and hugs the shaft snugly. But, let's see-. Mr. Richardson-the gauge, please. Now, it may be well to say just here, that the gauge in question had been very accurately set to the external diameter of the shaft, and, therefore, should not have entered the bore of the disc. Moreover, the gauge had been intrusted, at this important time, to that ever-investigating personage, Beehler, of the Postgraduate Class, and, of course, 'tis quite natural, that when the Lieutenant received the instrument, it was about an eighth of an inch less in length than it had been originally set to. Land of the mighty! Wliat's this! ! ll: t'H '1 ! ! ! VVhy, she goes through like a greased piston with ten-thousandths of an inch play ! Mr. Richardson came to the rescue, but found, much to his surprise, that something really did seem to be wrong. The gauge was then referred to the. shaft, and its length was found to be slightly less than the diameter of the shaft. VVhen the Lieutenant learned that the gauge had been entrusted to Beehler, he expressed himself as being not in the least surprised at the resultg whereupon, our investigating friend good-naturedly remarked that one could not expect the thing to remain set for a week. The Lieutenant concluded his remarks by announcing, that he considered us sufficiently informed upon the process of shrinking to appreciate thor- oughly what was about to follow-namely, the shrinking on of the crank disc. A squad of four was now appointed to man the carrying bars on which the disc was to be moved from the forge to its support. The quartet was composed of three Postgraduates, with Jack Hess of Av as boss. Aunt II7 Mary and her assistant were assigned the duty of manning the shaft. CThe Postgraduates are too good-natured to become jealousj. Start fires. There was a dreamy look in the Lieutenant's eyes. He was thinking of the days gone by, when he had been in the active service of his country, of how, when under the general order, Prepare ship for seaf' stokers and coal passers had scurried with willing feet to their stations, at his command. The Lieutenant's order was promptly obeyed, and in a short time a nearby forge was atiame with a roaring fire, the fierceness of which could not have been surpassed by old Vulcan himself. And now, 'twas Jack, who, arranging his assistants at the carrying bars, superintended the moving of the disc from its support to the bed of white-hot coals in the forge, where, by the way, it was to be heated. While the disc was expanding, Aunt Mary busied herself with placing her helpers in the most advantageous positions. Having arranged them to her satisfac- tion, she removed hcr specks and, holding them up before the brilliant light from the forge, began, in a cool and most deliberate manner, to polish them. There should be no bungling on her part, if she could help it. VVhile Aunt Mary was thus engaged, a sharp exclamation was heard above the roar of the blast. Zippy! Phil Zipp! the Lieutenant called, as soon as the disc is out of the fire Irwant you to take this tile and piece of eniery cloth, and clean out all the dirt and scale that may have collected in the bore. And, remember, you will have no time to lose, as the disc begins- to shrink as soon as it is taken from the firef' Phil took in the situation at once Creally, who would not have taken it in FD, and prepared for the worst. In the meantime, Aunt Mary,'l who always takes things as they come, Cespecially the tens in Steam, Trig, Analytics -really, in everything' worth a ten, j was about to dozc off into one of her characteristic little naps, when it was excitedly announced that the disc had expanded suf- ficiently, and that it was about to be moved back to its support. Jack hurriedly summoned his assistants, and at a word from Mr. Rich- ardson, they carried the disc to its former resting place. Quick, there, 'Zippy'! fThe Lieutenant was becoming somewhat excitedj. Zippy caught up his file and began most diligently to clean the bore of the disc. By George! Mow, Zipp, or you will freeze to it! The temperature of the disc at that moment, it may interest you to know, was about one thousand degrees. ' II8 'J' Now, in with her! By George! Whats the matter? Twist her a little there, so that the key will enter!! Gee whizz ! ! V' The Lieutenant was fairly dancing. At this critical moment Mr. Richardson reached over and, removing the offending key, started it in from the opposite side. Then it was that Aunt Mary Qhaving awakened suf- ficiently to see clearly with the aid of her polished glassesj succeeded in entering the shaft into the bore of the disc. Our friend Joe was stationed at the end of the shaft, and Aunt Mary gave him the word to drive it home. With measured beat cmd slow, Joe swung his heavy sledge. The shaft was slowly and surely being driven in, but the disc was shrinking at the same time, and it is doubtful whether it would ever have been driven in place had Joe continued his sledging at that rate 3 but, happily, he received an inspiration, and with an intensely fierce expression on his face, he drove that shaft home as surely as if a hydraulic press had been behind it. Pat -a P. G.-now caught up the hose, and in a very firemanlike manner, played a stream of water upon the shaft in order to prevent ex- cessive heating. Don't get your feet wet, Lieutenant! fMr. Richardson, and, in fact, all of the instructors, are very careful to see that the Lieutenant suffers no injury to his healthj. The Lieutenant had incautiously stepped into a pool- of water while examining the disc to note the shrinkage. At this moment his hand touched the hot metal, and, with an exclamation of pain and surprise, he involuntarily jumped back into a much larger pool, to the great consternation of Mr. Richardson, who tenderly assisted him to a dry part of the floor. It is to be regretted that the Lieutenant was not familiar with the rule given by a former instructor in the forge-shops- Never touch a piece of hot iron without first trying it with the hand, for it will burn you. In a short time the disc and shaft had cooled sufficiently to permit more careful examination, and it was pronounced by all of us Cwe of much experiencej to be a first-class job. And, not only was it a first-class job, but it was also an A Class job, and we are sure the Postgraduates will acknowledge this to be true. Land of the Midnight Sun! exclaimed the Lieutenant, as we were going up the stairs, this thing has been worrying me, and, by George, Vm glad it is done. Gee whizz ! ! ! LINWOOD. 119 A Token of Affection .Q HRISTMAS is the time when all naturally trv to show their gener- osity lhev want to give their friends as valuable a iemembrance 6 3 as possible. Some of the presents are very appropriate and useful, but many are notable only for size and beauty. A thing of beauty may be a joy forever, but it is very pleasing to receive a useful as well as a novel Christmas present. Professor R. H. Uhrbrock, Ph. ll., Head of the Depart- ment of Matlieinaties. received such a one from the class of 1902. That honorable class also gave him another, equally as novel, but not as useful. Some time before the ever-welcome season known as Yuletide, it occurred to several ingenious youths that a Christmas gift would be a most appropriate token of the class's affection for their beloved propounder of Mathematical Trials and Tribulationsf' Considerable thought and much time was spent in cudgeling their brains in a vain effort to solve the knotty problem what to give him. At last, one more enterprising than the rest, as he unwrinkled his face, cried, Eureka l He had solved the problem. The rest were overjoyed with the solution. Full of the idea, they very eloquently spoke to the class of the many kind words and favors QFD that had been received from the confirmed Bachelor of the Temple of Knowledge, and ended with the proposition which had so aptly presented itself. The class was wild with enthusiasm. Probably our Advocate of Corporal Punishment does not believe that so much good feeling exists toward him, but could he have seen the way the fellows relieved their already deflated containers of the precious coin he would have been convinced. It was as if Sam jones were begging from an awe-struck congregation an unprecedented collection for-well, a box of toothpicks for the orphans or anything else. lly actual count, four-tenths more money was given than was needed, although we have never heard where the surplus went. At one time a cold shiver visibly passed over the class when they thought the secret was a secret no longer. Our Explainer of the Cause of Genius asked us for a Christmas gift. but it did not refer to our cherished plan. It was a very peculiar Christmas gift that he asked for-namely, that the 120 Insurgents, be present on the Monday before Christmas. lrVe sincerely hope that the school board have not taken it into their heads to dock the teach- ers, pay when the class does not show up. At last, however, after all our suspense, the eventful day arrived, and everything was in readiness. It was the second period of the last school day before the Christmas holidays, when with great solemnity the class entered the room and impatiently awaited the coming of our Noted Athletefi who pres- ently arrived, his face radiant with the characteristic smile. As soon as he entered the room he was greeted by Mr. J. A. Baldwin, Past Grand Man- ager of our honorable Football Team, who, after delivering an appropriate address, presented him with a small, neatly-wrapped package. Mr. I. K. Flickenschildt, by rumor President of the Eastern Athletic Association, which holds its meetings in the cellar of Ding Lee's famous laundry, rose and begged the Professor to accept another small gift, handing as he spoke a very handsome medal. The presents were smilingly received by Professor Uhrbrock, who heartily thanked the class for their thoughtfulness. As we were all in excellent spirits, the end of the period soon arrived, and we left Old.Damoetas with his face beaming with expectation. Could we only have been near the Professor on that afternoon we might have seen him tremblingly remove the orange and blue ribbons and many wrappings of paper, revealing to his gaze a box of fine chalk. Not only was this chalk the finest and whitest seen this side of Dover, but to his great wonder and sur- prise, he discovered that, in great contrast to the chalk generally used about the building, it was cfzlirciy wz'fI1.01zt odor. Placing the chalk tenderly in his desk to prevent any damage that might possibly befall the tribute of our affection, he turned to examine the medal. It was set with an exceedingly large solitaire diamond, around which was handsomely engraved with ap- propriate trigonometric and analytic characters. The medal was hung upon a large bow of yellow ribbon, and had a plate with an elk's head at the cen- ter. The whole could be Worn as a watch charm, by means of a gold chain of very large links. Thus were utility and novelty united in a Christmas present. aegis I2I Jokes .sf Teacher of Chemistry-How does ammonia smell? Student Qsneezingj-Strong, Sir.
